Guest MarvinisaLunatic Posted September 30, 2002 Report Posted September 30, 2002 The Article The Onion The Onion is one of the funniest sites on the internet and one of my favorite sites to visit on a weekly basis when its updated. But it is blatantly obvious (to me at least) that the news is not real. How could someone mistakenly think that it is???HOW?? This article isn't the first time I've heard of someone mistaking The Onion for a real news source.
Guest Retro Rob Posted October 1, 2002 Report Posted October 1, 2002 Maybe I'm just oblivious, but how often do people believe the stuff on that site?
Guest kkktookmybabyaway Posted October 1, 2002 Report Posted October 1, 2002 I don't want to start a war or anything, but what is so funny about The Onion? I've seen some of the work, and it does nothing for me. Although I will admit I did chuckle when I heard (I guess TO has some radio network) when they said an athlete blamed God for his loss...
Guest Downhome Posted October 1, 2002 Report Posted October 1, 2002 I have only one thing to say... ...if this is the type of people in law enforcement today, then damnit, may God have mercy on our souls! I heard this on The Neil Bortz show tonight, and I didn't think I'd ever stop laughing about it. Just, totally un-f*cking-believable, that's all I can say.
Guest Cancer Marney Posted October 1, 2002 Report Posted October 1, 2002 chinese newspapers reported this story as fact
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted October 1, 2002 Report Posted October 1, 2002 Is that why you want to attack China?
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted October 1, 2002 Report Posted October 1, 2002 no as in, that's not the reason, or no as in, you don't want to attack china. I thought for sure I saw you advocating that...
Guest Cancer Marney Posted October 1, 2002 Report Posted October 1, 2002 no, as in that's not the reason.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted October 1, 2002 Report Posted October 1, 2002 Did you get indigestion from some funky Lo Mein perhaps?
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted October 1, 2002 Report Posted October 1, 2002 Damn, touchy about the noodles.
Guest Cancer Marney Posted October 1, 2002 Report Posted October 1, 2002 yeah, well, getting chewed out in a column by someone I've never ever given any reason to hate me has that effect when I'm depressed enough to be crying my eyes out already. so, cordially, fuck you all.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted October 1, 2002 Report Posted October 1, 2002 What the fuck are you talking about?
Guest Cancer Marney Posted October 1, 2002 Report Posted October 1, 2002 Follow the link. shithead. Not that it matters. Like, who cares? I'm just another ultra-conservative lesbian bitch with an inflated ego.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted October 1, 2002 Report Posted October 1, 2002 Ah, right then. None of my business at all. Quick Rambo, create a diversion.
Guest Cancer Marney Posted October 1, 2002 Report Posted October 1, 2002 good thinking. I'm going to bed now to sleep it off.
Guest DARRYLXWF Posted October 1, 2002 Report Posted October 1, 2002 ....what did that column have to do with you?
Guest Cancer Marney Posted October 1, 2002 Report Posted October 1, 2002 How many other "ultra-conservative lesbian bitches" do you know? <yawns> Not that it matters, since I was on a drunken crying jag last night and pretty much anything and everything could have and did set me off. Anyway, at least this was just some idiot in an obscure county, and at least they had the good sense to lie about it afterwards. In China, it was the Beijing Evening News that reported on Congress's "threat," and when told the source was a satire, the editors said, "We would first have to check that out. If it's indeed fake, I'm sure there will be some form of correction." Way to dig yourself in deeper, guys.
Guest starvenger Posted October 1, 2002 Report Posted October 1, 2002 The Onion is one of the funniest sites on the internet and one of my favorite sites to visit on a weekly basis when its updated. But it is blatantly obvious (to me at least) that the news is not real. How could someone mistakenly think that it is???HOW?? Because some people have no sense of humour. And, to paraphrase the late ScoopThis.com, "If it's on the 'net, it's gotta be true"
Guest EricMM Posted October 1, 2002 Report Posted October 1, 2002 I don't think Alina was talking about you, I think the ultra-conservative lesbian bitch is as much a stereotype as brittney spears. I think it means conservative not as political but as in restrained. Have you asked Alina? Either way I thought it was *SO* classy that some poster turned an angry female post into a PMS joke. If it was intentional, then maybe it's bearable, but I've heard so many similar jokes that were meant to be serious, that I have my doubts. Sometimes guys (like everyone) can be dumb.
Guest Cancer Marney Posted October 1, 2002 Report Posted October 1, 2002 Nah, now that I'm sober I don't care. What PMS joke?
Guest MrRant Posted October 1, 2002 Report Posted October 1, 2002 Odd since it's my site and I read everything posted all I saw was here saying the if you don't conform to a guys expectations of what a girl should be then you are pigeon-holed as a ultra-conservative lesbian. Didn't look like a shot at you Marney.
Guest Spaceman Spiff Posted October 1, 2002 Report Posted October 1, 2002 riiiiiight... </stirring shit up> j/k
Guest MrRant Posted October 1, 2002 Report Posted October 1, 2002 riiiiiight... </stirring shit up> j/k You just want some weird internet feud.
Guest Spaceman Spiff Posted October 1, 2002 Report Posted October 1, 2002 <booming voice> Feud for my entertainment! </booming voice> ::waves hand::
Guest Cancer Marney Posted October 1, 2002 Report Posted October 1, 2002 No, he wants a catfight between two cute hardbodies.
